She is VERY talented. And uses alot of plating and etching to go with it. Very skilled and creative.

                         I'm not that familiar with the art of glass painting and was wondering, is all that fused to the glass? I know what pleating is and I just can't imagine the skill it takes to produce something like that.WOW!

Traditional glass paints are permantly fired onto the glass at about 1250°F.
Glass stain (silver stain) is premantly fired onto glass a little cooler.
Enamels are fired a bit lower, I think. I've never used those. I understand that they can be less permanent than paint or stain.
Judith also grinds off all or some of the flashed layer of flashed glass in places to create image & dimension. Read the blog page in the above link for the clues. She also may grind off some of the paints, stains or enamels which she has applied. This is a perfect example of knowing what's in the tool box & using it effectively to achieve the desired effects.

Her imagination & vision concerning just the techniques she chooses to use are mind boggling. Then, there's the vision of the artistic statement! Keep watching, more amazing stuff is coming, I'm sure. - Tod

                   Man..............that work is incredible.
                 

Doodling is the single most important aspect of my work (and many other artists as well). Doodling is the (OK "a") secret key to making art. No joke!!!! Without doodling, I would probably keel over and wither and die.  I doodle, therefore I am.

                 I work in an auto body shop and it's been more than twice that I stopped what I was doing and "doodled" out a sketch at my tool box as it swirled around my head.

It is fantastic and it reminds of Hieronymus Bosch. It has that type of feel ... Look at the garden of earthly delights... Or the old psychology today magazines.
her work is twisted like that.. It is a good thing

                              Here is some bio on Judith that is a good read. http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/aroundthemall/2011/04/on-view-at-the-renwick-judith-schaechters-stained-glass-works-shatter-convention/
    She had a viewing earlier this year at the Smithsonian that I totally missed. ( we usually visit the Smithsonian every year........I never saw that )
    I will try to make her viewing at the Eastern State Penitentiary in Phily. from March-Nov. 2012. http://blog.glassquarterly.com/2010/09/19/prison-as-prism-judith-schaechter-finds-perfect-site-for-major-architectural-installation/
